Brent Doerzman – Portrait of a Photographer
He’s an absolute master at determining what to include or exclude in the frame, which is in my opinion one of the most challenging things a landscape photographer must learn to do. more
States of Grace
My work is rooted in the serenity I find in the sinuous elegance of organic forms. I photograph intuitively, guided by what I feel as much as what I see. more
David Lintern
Some of you may remember David’s name in the context of the campaign against the planning application for run-of-river hydro developments within the designated wildland areas of Glen Etive in 2020.

Same Tree, Different Day
Later that afternoon, the thought occurred to me to take a photo of the tree every day for a year just to see what would happen. I decided to follow through on that thought, and I had no clue at the time how this simple idea would end up impacting my life. more
